Run any program again to see whether F45 clears. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### What part does Asko F45 point to? F45 concerns the diverter, which sends water to different spray arms or zones. It does not name the circulation pump, which Asko reports separately as F56. ### Does Asko F45 sometimes clear after one more wash? Asko's first step is simply to run a program again and see whether F45 stays away. If it comes back, a technician should look at the diverter. --- **[Read on the site: Asko dishwasher showing F45 | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/asko-f45/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
